Nobody warns you how brutal the newborn stage really is until you're rocking a screaming baby at 3am for the fourth night in a row. We tried everything — swaddles, pacifiers, driving around the block — until a friend mentioned her newborn white noise machine. Honestly, I was skeptical. But within a few nights, our little one started settling faster and staying asleep longer. Turns out the womb was never actually quiet, so that constant hum mimics something babies already know.
The Sleepy Baby machine has a handful of sound options, isn't too loud, and doesn't need to be plugged into a wall the whole night. It's compact enough to toss in a diaper bag too, which we didn't expect to use as much as we do now. If you're running on fumes and need literally anything that might help, this is worth a shot before you try something more complicated.
